Birth Arts International Crossover Certification and Doula MeetUp!

I am so excited to announce that I will be running a "Birth Arts International Experienced Doula Crossover Certification Retreat".

...wow. That's a mouthful. What is that now?  

There are many experienced doulas in the Pacific Northwest Region that are looking to re-certify with Birth Arts International.  One of the many reasons I love BAI is that they cater to the unique needs of each individual doula.  Has your certification lapsed? Is your current certification organization requiring massive amounts of CEUs? Do they want you to start at square one and take your original training again?  BAI doesn't require that. We have crafted the perfect crossover recertification process for the experienced doula in the Seattle area and the steps are as follows:

1. Sign up for the BAI Crossover Recertification Retreat in January! At this training, you will get a BAI manual and re-ignite your #DoulaFire. We will connect with each other and spend the weekend sharing the uniqueness of each of our Doula practices and styles and mapping out pathways for our individual growth with BAI. 
2. After the training, you will be entered into the BAI Crossover Online Classroom where Demetria Clark, founder and director of Birth Arts, will work with you personally to determine what is required for certification as a Birth Arts doula. If you have already been previously certified, she will accept the materials from that, as well as factor in how long and how experienced you are in this field. 
3. Your BAI certification never expires and there are no annual dues required. Relax and grow your practice! That's all we wish for you! 

Going forward, there is a vibrant online community of BAI doulas and you can help grow the BAI presence in the Seattle area!  BAI is not new... they've been certifying doulas (mostly in the South and East Coast) for nearly 20 years. It's time Seattle shared in the joy that is Birth Arts International!

​As a celebratory kick off to the growing BAI doula cohort, I will be hosting a BAI Meet Up on this retreat weekend... all BAI students and practicing doulas in the area are welcome on Saturday evening at 7pm!  Information on this will best be found via the Facebook Event as well as on the main registration page.
